 I am a little late posting my March Christmas cards but I did manage to get 5 done. Our Challenge was to use stars.

Starting with these two snowman stickers that had stars with them.


  • Me & My Big Ideas - Snowman stickers
  • Spellbinders - Curved Rectangles die
  • Simon Says - Tiny words Christmas sentiment stamp
  • Pink & Main - Sentiment strip die

  • Me & My Big Ideas - Snowman stickers
  • PPD - Wavy Stitched Rectangle die
  • Simon Says - Tiny words Christmas sentiment stamp
  • Pink & Main - Sentiment strip die

  • These next two cards uses a die I got free when ordering something from Scrapbook.com they say they are snowflakes but to me they look more like stars :)  I stitched them with some gold thread.


    • Spellbinders - Stitched Prism snowflake die, with DMC gold metallic thread
    • Studio G - Sentiment stamp

    • Spellbinders - Stitched Prism snowflake die, with DMC gold metallic thread
    • Elizabeth Craft Designs - Merry Christmas sticker
    • Sequins
    This last one I used score tap around the edges of the card and embossed with silver embossing powder, I also used the same powder on the stamps.


    • Creative Stamping magazine - Stamps with silver embossing powder
    • Scortape around the edges with silver embossing powder

    The side view showed the embossing a little better on the stamps.

    Thanks so much for stopping by today, and hope you have a great week!
